Dreamweaver design view is NOT a browser. You and your client both need to view the site in browsers to truly know how it looks. Though css support has come far in the last version of DW, it still renders the BEST neg margin source ordered layouts as a jumble in wysiwyg view, despite the fact that the broken browser, IE, will display them just fine. So the answer is client education. Either you use undesirable markup so they can easily edit in design view or you use good Search Engine and Accessible device friendly markup and they preview in browser after edits. -- Best regards, bj mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
